So I just got a new job. I'm going to be a pest control guy. I passed the pre employment drug test by using synthetic urine I got at the head shop and I guess 8 years is long enough to pass a background check because they didn't mention anything of my felony. I'm excited because this is a regular full time job, 8-5, mon-fri and it comes with benefits.
I'm still going to keep my head shop job super part time because I enjoy some of the Percs of working there despite it being a pretty shitty job over all.
Hit me up if you need some termites killed or need a bong.

Also this morning I applied at a borosilicate glass producing company who supplies all the pipe makers and artists in this area, I really hope to get that job because it actually pays well and is with a bunch of cool people, but we'll see, I'm just happy to be employed.
 
Congratz Delsyd, my job contract just ended a few days ago. I might go back there in a few months if I'm lucky, but atm I'm unemployed.
 
Hell yeah dude, awesome! I guess you were able to keep the urine at the right temperature. And benefits... totally invaluable. I bet it'll be nice to have regular working hours too. :)

Any last tips for my first LSD trip tomorrow? I've taken AL-LAD before and once 1 blotter LSD but the dose was too low.

You've had other strong psychedelics so you'll be fine... have fun! :)

EDIT: It's amazing how strong .75mg of DOC can be... not that I'm tripping out or anything but it's VERY present.

Thanks man, you really just made me more confident :D That DOC trip I was talking earlier is going to postpone for a while, maybe a few weeks. I think I'm in a place I need a real trip or some guidance by something greater powers if u know what i mean :) and if DOC is suitable for that, I dont want to dose high for new substance for the first time.

Getting some playlists ready. Artists like Ott, Cosmosis, 1200 micrograms, Pangaea, Shpongle, The Orb, Hallucinogen, Entheogenic, Klute, Shulman, some more oldschool goa psytrance and of course some chill ambient to calm me down if things get too hectic :) Too bad I only have high sativa cannabis (super lemon haze) and since that might make me little paranoid I wont probably be smoking weed. If I had some chill indica strains it would be different story but I think pot won't be even needed. I'll clean up in the morning, eat, take a shower and drop :>
 
I don't find DOC to be really great for guidance from something external or "greater powers" as you put it. It more puts me in touch with myself, after a period of shattering that and rebuilding.
 
That sounds it could be very beneficial for me too. Do you get an afterglow from doc trips?
 
I posted this song a day or two ago but I feel the need to share it again- its extremely beautiful- lonely and delicate- like EVERYTHING in the world-

 
^^I listened to it then, and I really like it. :) Hey man! How goes it?

Absolutely. :) I feel great afterwards. Also the plateau stage is about the nicest feeling I can imagine, and it lasts a long time and gradually fades away, it doesn't come down suddenly or leave you with emptiness or anything. Sort of like how mescaline just gradually fades into your being rather than coming down.
 
^I'm great thanks :) Just feeling that music- so potent- autumn is really coming down in Australia and everything is turning grey and cold- its part of the most ancient cycle, how can it not be admired and loved?? :D

Mescaline is really very powerful- I'm not sure exactly how much I had on the weekend but it was probably my highest dose of it, and the most hallucinogenic experience I've had with it. I still feel the peace and positive emptiness 3 days later.

And how are you? :)
 
Ah, Spring is just dawning here, I am so ready for it!

I'm doing pretty well, I decided I am going to do some ibogaine therapy in the near future, and get past these fucking opiates... I'm pretty excited about that, also nervous.

I am starting to feel pretty good about my life situation right now other than the opiate thing... the dust is finally settling from the breakup/impending divorce. I am mostly happy and calm on a day-to-day basis which is a good thing. :) I am a bit lonely but I have good friends and a little loneliness is a lot better than feeling not lonely but filled with horrible frustration and anger all the time.
 
^I think you will benefit heaps from ibogaine. You seem to have always been able to extract some real positives from psychedelics so would make an ideal candidate. I look forward to hearing of this happening. :) There is such a deep emptiness in the life of opiate addicts; the warmth of the high is so temporary and comes at a really huge price which very few can actually afford, and there isn't really much room for anything else. For me now, when I have my smallish doses of either codeine or tramadol, I realise I don't actually like it that much- always realise this when I'm on it, never before hand...:\ There are a lot of deeper joys in life, which can be hard to enjoy when you feel sad and cold and aching with w/d symptoms, but they are still there when you've recovered :)

I'm investigating doing another vipassana meditation retreat; I did a shortish one about 12 months ago in France and loved it. Apparently there is a good one in the nearby Victorian bush which I'm looking into though it seems to be in a typically depressing rural Victorian town.... Oddly, the thought of it makes me feel quite nervous, in the way that pre-contemplation of an impending psychedelic experience can- which is probably an indication of the power of these retreats...:)

Anyway, must head off to meet my brother for coffee and guitar playing- peace :) <3
 
I woke up today with about 50 percent hearing loss in my right ear. This happened 3 days ago and I wrote it off as allergies or something. The following day my hearing was fine. But this morning it was way worse. I immediately ran to the internet for answers and I couldn't find anything that would put my mind at ease. I checked to see what the pollen levels are in my area and it doesn't seem like it would be allergies. Everything I read told me I should seek medical attention immediately. Save your breathe, I won't be doing that, I can't afford it and I have minimal means of even getting there any way. I'm hoping it's not what I read it was, which is Sudden Deafness, even though all of the ailments match up exactly. I'm just hoping it will go away by tomorrow. I don't understand what it has to do with sleep. I got really paranoid about it earlier to the point of almost having a panic attack so I took a klonopin to calm down and stop reading the internet about it. I laid down and wound up falling asleep for a short nap. When I woke up, the hearing was even worse. Scary shit. I can't live without being able to hear music.
 
Wow man, I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I'm sure it's not sudden deafness, but I hope you find out what it is. And I wish we lived in a country where you didn't have to put off medical attention for something so potentially important because you can't afford it. :(

Internet diagnosis can lead to a huge amount of paranoia and anxiety... try to relax about it, I know it's easier said than done.

A friend of mine had sudden deafness in one of her ears from when she was a young adult.
The upside is that it never worsened from that time and it hasn't affected her negatively in any way.
I hope for the best however, and I wish you were able to go get it checked out.
What a horribly flawed medical system :(
 
Yeah it's really bad. I am really lucky that I have insurance, I certainly pay for it though. And even still I have to pay $20 per doctor visit, and $40 for a specialist visit. I should have had physical therapy for my hand after I broke it and I didn't do it because I couldn't afford $160 extra per month for weekly appointments. And that's a minor thing. People avoid doctors because of cost all the time in this country, and it ends up making the whole system reactive rather than preventative. Sufficient help and support should be provided to get citizens preventative, regular healthcare, so that diseases can be prevented in the first place. It would save money and be better for everyone, because we wouldn't be chugging out zillions of pills for millions of ailments and heart surgeries and other health problems that could have been prevented had they been caught and nurtured against from the beginning.

^we need shamans
Click to expand...

Dunno about the efficacy of shamanism in the area of true physical ailments, but spiritually and psychologically we all need to be shamans. I actually used to be fascinated by shamanism until I sort of realised that some of the beliefs are perhaps more archaic then christianity even. Of course, its incorrect to think of shamanism as just one thing, but my own exposure to it made it seem kind of laughable...Each to their own though...:)

Laika, I experienced some weird hearing related symptoms during my own benzo w/d nightmare. Not so much distinctive hearing loss, but moreso exaggerated tinnitus; a sudden decrease in volume of sounds on my left usually, accompanied by either a high ringing sound or a deeper whooshing noise. Sometimes it was unaccompanied by tinnitus, just a sudden decrease in volume and a feeling of dizziness. At the time I wondered if it was still tinnitus but at a frequency that I could no longer perceive. Physically, that theory probably doesn't make sense, but who knows? Either way, I really think your recent experiences might be from your benzo taper. Try not to fret about it too much; IME, anxiety increases occurences like tinnitus and other symptoms like parathesia and the like. I'm sure you will be fine- I too will send some happiness to you <3

I wonder how MGS is doing with the iboga? Would love to hear from him. :) I'm coasting ATM, been experimenting with low dose AMT on my days off. Today I took 10mg rectally and then another 5mg about 4 hours after. Really nice stimulation and mood lift and am very engaged in existence as a result. :)
 
man really depressing... i'm trying to be less of a hermit these days, and so i've been trying to get in touch with a bunch of my friends from back in the day. and no luck at all really. :\
